VBS disabledVBS has to be disabled if you want CPU voltage control in ThrottleStop to work.
My signature shows how.
What do you mean "unfortunately"? That sounds like a reasonable result, particularly if you were reaching 100C before.VBS disabled
I did everything as advised
unfortunately the temperatures dropped by about 5/7 degrees
and the cinebench result is practically the same as UV
any ideas what i can be doing wrong?
Yep, can't use throttlestop and WSL at the same time.Do I understand correctly that all virtualization settings have to be disabled for all this to work? Gigabyte B660I pro DDR4 with a 13600KF here and I need the virtualization for Windows Subsystem for Linux...
This is the BIOS update of December 15, 2023? That one seems to be available for my B660I Aorus Pro DDR4 as well.Maybe its gonna be useful for someone, I just updated my Gigabyte B660m board to newest bios F28. Now they allow to select microcode x104, which allows undervolt with throttlestop. And whats even more interesting, IA CEP seems to be disabled by default with no setting available, now I can just undervolt in bios without loosing performance
Yes F28 from 12/15. I'll just attach a picture. Power draw down from ~190w to 130w under full load, same cinebench r23 score of around 24k.This is the BIOS update of December 15, 2023? That one seems to be available for my B660I Aorus Pro DDR4 as well.
Where are these settings located? As mentioned previously I can't use throttlestop as I need WSL, but undervolting in the BIOS without losing performance is a no-brainer.
Do I need to select the x104 microcode somewhere? Which voltage settings do I need to change after that to get an undervolt? The offsets I assume?
Thanks! The microcode option works for me, when setting the MCR register (e.g. with ThrottleStop)Maybe its gonna be useful for someone, I just updated my Gigabyte B660m board to newest bios F28.

I did not. Im done with testing, just happy that it works nowThanks! The microcode option works for me, when setting the MCR register (e.g. with ThrottleStop)
Have you by any chance tested if the BIOS voltage offsets work *without* the downgraded microcode? Hard for me to test atm.
I've tried it now, it only works with the microcode downgrade.I did not. Im done with testing, just happy that it works now

just remember to try not to autorun first or it would be f..ck times to get this thing rid of autorun later lolI've worked with a 13600k on a Z790 board from MSI and also had issues with undervolting in the BIOS. It would accept any value I gave it and I wouldn't lose performance but it would only actually offset the voltage down to -0.050mV even if I were to put more.
XTU also did not work at all. Voltage control was greyed out
Ended up using ThrottleStop and it works perfectly.
It's sitting happy at -0.125mV atm but can go even further. Scheduling it on startup also works perfect
My personal computer I use XTU to undervolt and I don't see any disadvantage of doing it in software vs BIOS. More convenient for dialing in your UV in software for sure though
anyone using this ANCIENT utility still....I use Win10. Xtu does not work, refuses to start due to my cpu.
I have asked GIGABYTE support about this, they are unwilling to fix it.My only problem is that I can't set a negative Cache offset in the BIOS. Called "L2Atom" in the BIOS. For some reason you can only set positive offsets. Seems to be an oversight from GIGABYTE, because it works when using MSR register. Maybe they can fix that.
